Hello-
Well the iPod has a nice new, empty vfat file system in it and it is mounted on a FC4 distro. FC4 mounts ipods in the /media directory rather than the /mnt directory. I made a symbolic link in the /mnt directory pointing to /media

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Feb 1 18:53 ipod -> /media/ipod

but when I fire up Amarok (1.3., and press Connect in the Media Device panel, I get the error message

Could not find device, Please mount it and try again.

It really is mounted! Any ideas??
Thanks

Hi,
I supose you are using KDE.
You need to install kio_ipodslave so that you can \"see\" your iPod.

the ipod kio slave is not necessary any longer for connecting to an ipod: in 1.3*, code from the kio slave was integrated for connecting to the ipod, in 1.4-svn the library libgpod is used for ipod access.

in your case the problem seems to be that you have an empty/newly initialized ipod (e.g. fresh firmware update/install), and the 1.3 ipod code is not capable of recognizing an empty ipod. however, you could use gtkpod (see http://www.gtkpod.org) to copy your first song to the ipod and thereby making it recognizable by 1.3.
